What customers don't like about Irulu eXpro X1plus 10.1 (1GB + 16GB)

  • Significant performance lag; frequently described as slow, especially when multitasking or loading complex apps.
  • Poor screen viewing angles; colours and saturation can appear washed out or distorted when tilted.
  • Low screen resolution (1024x600) results in low pixel density and lack of sharpness compared to modern tablets.
  • Limited internal storage (often 8GB or 16GB), which quickly fills up as a portion is reserved for the operating system.
  • Hardware limitations such as the lack of GPS and mobile network connectivity in many configurations, making it less suitable for travel.
  • Fragile or cheap-feeling plastic construction that is prone to fingerprints.

Verdict

The iRULU eXpro X1Plus is a budget-friendly 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1024x600 resolution multi-touch display and running on Android 5.1 Lollipop. It is powered by an ARM Cortex-A33 quad-core 1.3GHz processor, paired with 1GB of DDR3 RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card. Main characteristics include a 5500mAh battery providing approximately 5 hours of use, dual cameras (2.0MP rear and 0.3MP front), and connectivity options like Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.0, and USB OTG support. Pros of the device include its cost-effective price point, a relatively large screen for media consumption, and GMS certification for access to Google Play apps. However, notable cons include its low pixel density of 118 ppi, limited multitasking capabilities due to the low RAM, and a plastic build that is prone to fingerprints and screen distortion under pressure.
